Play Super Aoki Ookami to Shiroki Mejika - Genchou Hishi (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Ever stumble across an SNES game that feels like a secret handshake among retro fans? Super Aoki Ookami to Shiroki Mejika is one of those—a tactical RPG where you’re either leading the Blue Wolf clan or the White Deer in this weirdly addictive, grid-based feud. The first time I played, I spent way too long staring at the map, trying to figure out if I should flank that village or just charge headfirst (spoiler: charging usually ends badly).

What’s cool is how it mixes Japanese folklore with chess-like strategy—your units have these little quirks based on their roles, and the pixel art gives everything this moody, almost storybook look. It’s not as polished as, say, Fire Emblem, but there’s something about the way alliances crumble and battles swing that makes it hard to put down. By the time you realize you’ve been muttering “okay, LAST turn” for an hour, it’s already too late.

Definitely not the most famous SNES title, but if you dig tactical games with personality, this one’s a rabbit hole worth falling into.
